Picked up a '44 Remington Rand

Picked this one up this week, a 1944-produced Remington Rand. Looks to be a non-refurb. Bbl is Hi-Standard, mag is Little.

Sorry for the glare in the photos, there was a fresh coat of oil on the gun.

Nice clean old gun. About as good as we can get here. Very nice. It looks as if someone was going to have a go at deleting the Martial markings on the right side, but fainted before they could do any real damage.

Would that be a mid 1944? Nice looking 1911 :thup:

About April of 1944.

Yeah, someone had started electro pencil cancelling the word "united" but stopped there. It looks like it was bare metal there and was touched up with a spot treatment of cold blue. Its the only real fault on the gun, the rest is original finish so not worth reparkerizing.
